Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to a door and more particularly to a door for a cupboard.
- In cupboard installations it is often found that the door of the cupboard opens into a confined area which either restricts the movement of the door or else results in the door, in its opened position, becoming an undesirable obstruction. Such a situation often exists in a corner cupboard such as to be found, for example, at the join of cupboard units situated on adjoining walls which are at right angles. In many instances the area in the corner between the cupboard units is not utilised or else access to such area is restricted by virtue of the fact that the. cupboard doors cannot be hung in such a way as to provide ready access.
- One way in which this problem can be overcome is to employ a two panel.door arrangement where the door is formed in two sections with one section pivotally hinged to the carcass or side of the opening and the second section hinged to the first section. There are many problems with such an arrangement. For example it is difficult to control the door during the entire opening and closing operation as the outer or second section tends to pivot about its hinge connection to the second door. Also difficulties arise in the latching of the door in its closed position. Usually it is necessary to latch the inner or first section followed by latching.of the outer 'section.
- In an effort to overcome these problems it has been proposed that a control arm be employed to control the door sections during the opening and closing operations. These control arms have largely been unsuccessful for a variety of reasons. For example one proposal is to have the arm coupled to the second section by being attached to the inner face thereof adjacent the hinge coupling the sections. Whilst a certain degree of control is achieved the arm does not help to overcome the problem of lack of any latching action of the door in the closed position. In fact to achieve any degree of control without restricting the amount of opening of the door the arm is of a complex construction and is thus prone to malfunction whilst also being expensive to produce.
- A door comprising a planar closure member formed in two sections of different width with one hingedly connected to the other, a first of said sections being adapted for hinged mounting to an aperture.in which in use the closure member is to be located, and the second of said sections being pivotally coupled adjacent the free edge thereof which is opposite to the edge hinged to said first section to an arm which is adapted at its other end to be pivotally attached to a fixture remote from said aperture, but in a plane which-' is parallel to that of said aperture.
- The arm can be of a construction where it is of adjustable length, or where it is extensible in length. For example, the arm can be formed from two sections coupled end to end by a spring biassing means which permits the arm in use to be of extensible length. Alternatively, the arm can comprise an elongate member which is pivotally coupled at each end to a mounting member with the elongate member being attached by spring biassing means at one said end to a coupling member. which is pivoted to said mounting member. In either arrangement the spring biassing means can be a spring extending between two fixtures.
- In a preferred form, the door sections are each of rectangular shape with a longitudinal edge of the first section being hingedly coupled to the longitudinal edge of the second section. In a preferred form the width of the second section is greater than that of the first section. The pivot mounting at the other end of the arm is preferably at a point which is aligned with the axis of the hinge coupling of the the first and second door section when the closure member is in the closed position.
- In a second broad aspect of the invention, there is provided a cupboard unit having an aperture and a door of the type specified above, the door being hingedly coupled to a vertical wall which defines one side of the aperture and the arm of the door pivotally attached to a wall remote from . said aperture but in a plane which is parallel to that of the aperture.
- According to a third broad aspect of the invention there is provided a cupboard unit having an opening formed of two adjacent apertures set at mutual right angles each aperture having a door of the type described above, each door being hingedly coupled to a vertical wall which defines one end of said opening, the arm of each door each being pivotally attached to a-wall remote from the aperture in which said door is located.
- To more fully describe the invention reference will be made to the accompanying drawings in which:-
- Figure 1 is an isometric view of a cupboard unit with the doors closed,
- Figure 2 is a plan view of the arrangement as shown in Figure 1,
- Figure 3 is a plan view similar to figure.2 but showing the doors in the open and partially open positions,
- Figure 4 is a partially sectioned view of a modified form of the invention when the arm is constructed of two sections,
- Figure 5 is a part view partially sectioned of one end of the arm where it is coupled to a mounting unit,
- Figure 6 is a schematic plan view of a further form of cupboard unit embodying the present invention, and
- Figure 7 is a plan view of a hinge coupling the first door section to.a fixture defining an edge of the aperture.
- Referring to Figure 1, the cupboard unit as shown is a corner unit being composed of two
sections 10 and 10' set at right angles to one another. Each section is defined by respectivelyside walls 11 and 11' andback walls 12 and 12'. Recessedkick boards 13 can be provided in the normal manner. In the drawings the top of the unit has been omitte in the interests of clarity whilst thefloor 14 is shown in Figures 2 and 3. - In the
drawings side walls 11 and 11' are shown as forming an integral part of the cupboard unit though it must be appreciated that such walls can be equally formed by the ends of adjoining cupboard units. - Each
door 15 is located to close an aperture 16 and 16', of each section of the cupboard unit.Door 15 is composed of two substantially rectangularplanar sections conventional butt hinges 19. The width ofsection 18 is greater than that ofsection 17 as can be clearly seen in the drawings. -
Section 17 of eachdoor 15 is hinged to the vertical end ofrespective side walls 11 and 11'. Hinges 20 on whichsections 17 are hung are of a type which allow the vertical edge of thesection 17 to move away and outwardly from the vertical end ofwall 11 or 11'. Thehinges 20 are also spring loaded. These types of hinges (an example of which is illustrated in Figure 7) are well known in the art and operate so as to not only move the inner edge of the door section away (during opening) from the edge of the aperture but also latch the door closed when it is positioned within. or covering the aperture. - A
bracket 21 is fixed to the inner surface of eachdoor section 18 near its upper edge at or adjacent the free vertical edge thereof. Anarm 22, which is preferably of adjustable length, is pivotally coupled tobracket 21. The other end ofarm 22 is pivotally coupled to abracket 23 which is fastened to therespective back wall 12 and 12'. Bracket 23 is located on the same level asbracket 21 and preferably spaced a distance away from theadjacent side wall 11 and 11' so that it substantially aligned with the axis ofhinge 19. - A handle, knob or like door pull is attached to one or both of
door sections pull 24 is mounted on eachdoor section 17. - In use the corner cupboard unit is placed in position say between
adjoining units 25. Thedoors 15 are hung as shown with the length of eacharm 22 adjusted in length to allow the doors to close as shown'in Figures 1 and 2. To open the door a person pulls, ondoor pull 24 which causessection 17 to pivot abouthinges 20. Due to the presence ofarm 22door section 18 pivots about thehinges 19 so that thedoor sections inner section 17 is spring shut near the end of travel due to the spring loading ofhinges 20. - Throughout the opening and closing operations the action of the door is controlled by the
arm 22 which ensures that the free end ofdoor section 18 is correctly guided. Theinner section 17 thus opens abouthinges 20 with theouter section 18 hinging abouthinges 19 due to the control of the free end of this section byarm 22. Latching ofouter section 18 when in position within the aperture is not required as thearm 22 automatically effects latching when the door is closed due to the relative positions of the pivot axes of the ends ofarm 22 andhinges - In an alternative form of the invention, (see Figure 4) the
arm 22 is of tubular construction and in twosections socket coupling 29 which is pivoted to, for example,bracket 23 and the end of theother section 28 being inserted in asocket coupling 30 which is pivoted to the other bracket i.e.,bracket 21.Arm sections cylindrical insert 31 which is fixedly attached withinsection 27 and slidably located-within the open end ofsection 28. The extent of sliding movement within the .end ofsection 28 is limited by a pin or thelike projection 32 which extends transversely frominsert 31 and is located within anelongate slot 33 in the wall of arm 28. ! Aspring 34 is attached to the end ofinsert 31 and extends. along the inside ofsection 28 to afixture 35. Accordingly, the two sections of the arm can be moved away from one another but always return to the illustrated position under the biassing influence ofspring 34. - A further form of the invention is illustrated in Figure 5, where once again the
arm 22 is of tubular construction but this time of a single length. As with the arrangement illustrated in Figure 4, each end of the arm is located in a socket coupling which is pivoted to therespective brackets slot 36 being open ended and theother slot 37 closed at each end. Apin 38 extending through thesocket coupling 30 passes throughslots spring 39 located withinarm 22 is attached by one end to pin 38 and at its other end to afixture 40. Accordingly, under the influence ofspring 39, the arm takes up the position within thesocket coupling 30 as shown in Figure 5, but is capable of a restricted amount of sliding movement within thesocket coupling 30. The amount of movement is limited by thepin 38 engaged in the closed endedslot 37. - The arrangements illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 allow the arm to be extensible and thus take up any misalignment of the arm when mounted between the back wall and door as well as to relieve any stresses which may occur during the opening and closing of the door or due to misalignment of mounting. Of the two constructions, the construction illustrated in Figure 5 is the simpler, and has the advantage that sagging which can occur with the arrangement shown in Figure 4 is obviated.
- Other constructions will be evident to those skilled in the art whereby the arm can be extensible to relieve stresses and take up any misalignment due to incorrect mounting.
- The invention thus provides a door which when open is compact and can thus be opened in a confined space and does not constitute an obstruction. As described the door is particularly useful for corner cupboard units but of course is not solely limited to.use with only corner cupboard units. For example a "straight" cupboard arrangement embodying the invention is illustrated in Figure 6. The
arms 22 control the opening and closing operations so that thedoor sections
